PRE-CONDITIONS(mind)Set: Extremely happy, the first morning of 2 days off with nothing to do in the world. I had just got back from dropping my friend off at LAX.
(physical condition) Set: Healthy homeostasis.
Setting (location): My room in an apartment complex, tapestries pulled over the windows, plenty of natural light still though.
time of day: 1300hrs on the dot. Very sunny and warm outside.
recent drug use: Some marijuana on the trip to the airport around 0800hrs, it had pretty much worn off by blast off time.
last meal: Some pretzels during the airport trip as well, besides that I had not eaten since 2000hrs the previous night out to dinner at Duke's (beef with teriyaki mmm mmm)
PARTICIPANTGender: Male
body weight: ~65kg
known sensitivities: Onsets of any substance are very rapid for me, however, I am almost always able to navigate an experience and keep emotions under control.
history of use: Novice DMT user, highly experienced LSD and psilocybin user, however first time pharma user.
BIOASSAYSubstance(s): Harmalas freebase, DMT freebase
Dose(s): 260mg, 164mg
Method of administration: Both freebases dissolved in minimal lemon juice then diluted to standard "shot" glass volume with mango peach V8 splash (
)
EFFECTSAdministration time: T1=1300hrs Harmalas freebase, T2=1320hrs DMT freebase.
Duration: 3 hours total of psychedelic experiences.
First effects: 1325hrs, I used the restroom and noticed patterns forming on the floor tile and walls, as this was only mere minutes after ingesting the DMT I assumed it was the first effects of the harmalas and felt even better about the experience knowing they were doing their job. The DMT "felt" and "looked" like it started coming on about 10minutes after this while laying in bed, intense CEV's began to take form.
Peak: I unfortunately was unable to keep track of time not long after I felt the DMT taking hold. I could think of time but make no sense of it, the entirety of my life from start to finish was laid out before me branching and stretching into all the possibilities, tomorrow was today and today, tomorrow. I would have to estimate approximately 1hr20minutes of peak time, unable to come out from under my covers during this period though I have no way of knowing.
Come down: Around 1500hrs, again not entirely sure, linear time was an extremely difficult concept
Baseline: By 1600hrs I still experienced extreme tracers but very little OEV's or CEV's, and little to no auditory hallucinations.
Intensity (overall): 3 - Quite a bit of intensity, it was far more intense than any of my vaping sessions but I have no other pharma experiences to compare it to. In terms of psychedelics it was the most intensely mind-altering experience I've had to date.
Evaluation / notes: Next time I will try 300mg harmalas freebase and 200mg DMT freebase... the trip was the most fun and the worst experience I've ever had mentally. It was beautiful and horrifying at the same time
It was a yin-yang rollercoaster in every literal sense.
OPTIONALPleasantness: (0-4) 3
Implesantness: (0-4) 3

AFTER-EFFECTSHangover: (0-4 ; 0 hangover
Afterglow: (0-4 ; 2, I was fairly content and happy to finally be able to ignore/accept/control my own thoughts again. I felt wholly optimistic and depressed about many different things.
REPORTThis is a work in progress hopefully none of you are upset about a trip report without a trip report (yet) but I just wanted to get my method of administration, dosage, and general experience out there for those having trouble getting pharma to work. I know I was fairly convinced I was misjudging my metabolism and wasting a lot of goods but I was both pleasantly and unpleasantly suprised
The juicy details (or ramblings of a psychonaut) are on their way! I will note early in the peak all confused and bewildered I felt my stomach catch fire and realized a purge was happening, I just barely made it to the toilet I highly recommend a bucket close by! Also, immediately upon swallowing the DMT-shot my stomach became nauseous, after the DMT kicked in I didn't notice it until it was purge time and felt no physical distress whatsoever after the purge.
Good luck to all! I'll get my experiences sorted out and written down soon enough
